Plate tectonics is a theory in what field of science?

Plate tectonics is a theory in the field of geology. It explains the movement of Earth's lithosphere (outer shell) and the resulting geological processes such as earthquakes, volcanic activity, and mountain formation.


What geological theory states that pieces of the Earth's lithosphere are in constant slow motion?

The theory of plate tectonics states that pieces of the Earth's lithosphere, called tectonic plates, are in constant slow motion, driven by processes such as seafloor spreading, subduction, and continental drift. These movements can result in events like earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and mountain formation.
